KellyX:What amazes me is as much as this shiat is in the news, people are still doing it... or for that matter this shiat is still being sold in stores.

Banning them isn't the solution because they'll just move on to some other industrial compound that can get them high - you'll have to ban keyboard dusters, aerosol cans, and white out, too, since people get high on those as well.

These are imbeciles who can't find themselves a dealer to get high on weed/cocaine/whatever. If we want to stop driving them to legal substances that were never intended to be ingested/inhaled by a human, we'll end the drug war.

Considering there was a case in new york where a woman high on bath salts said she wanted to kill and eat people I'd say Florida has nothing to do with it. I think the laws with bath salts in Florida might be more lax maybe. Or maybe it's just easier to find there. It's illegal here in Delaware.

Pretty sure I never said ban... I was thinking along the facts of what the fark is wrong with the owners of these stores that they'd continue to voluntarily allow the shiat to continue to be sold in their stores... What kind of farked up people are they?

If they legalized marijuana and 'shrooms this synthetic shiate would go out of style PDQ.

I had a couple bad trips in my youth but nothing like these articles describe.

Could these people be totally psycho to begin with? Maybe that guy in Florida always wanted to eat the face off a wino and only ingested a bit of that chemical to give himself an excuse? Or could it be the placebo effect again: you think you're taking a drug that will make you act very strange but the bottle itself contains just baking soda?

very few places have 'potpourri' that is chemically altered these days. it's mostly a nice blend of natural herbs --that they caution you not to smoke- which may be burned like an incense. of course you smoke them and it's the mildest of relaxation and tranquil calm, just a touch.

so either punch the dog eating boy got himself a major dose of old school chemical pre-K2, or he did the salts, or he's a highly impressionable asshole that needs special care.

offmymeds:Prank Monkey: I thought bath salts were a whole different thing than K2 but you know, uh, I'm too old for that stuff.

I'm fairly certain they are different. Oddly enough, some states are trying to draft legislation against the sale of K2 but not bath salts. Weird, huh? Go figure.

i bet if we could follow the money these products are fund raisers for alphabet shenanigans. what businessman in his right mind would invest in raw materials & a processing plant for product that might/will/should get yanked right off the shelves? these goods tap-danced around laws really well. someone knew what they were doing.
